Method

• In teams spend about 7 min exploring each resource.
• Appoint a scribe to record your thoughts and discussion points via the discussion tab of each resource
• Here are some questions to consider:
  • What is something new about the resource you are exploring?
  • What are the implications for teaching and learning?
  • How do these implications (of the story/message/fact) impact your job and responsibilities in your school?
  • What action do you want to see or you want to take personally after exploring the resource?
